Mounted albumen photograph labeled in pencil: "Blenker's Division 1861", 10 1/2" x 15 1/2" (trimmed), 25" x 19" mount. The image shows about forty members of Blenker's Division, mostly officers, standing beside three cannon with stacked cannonballs with a small structure in the background. Two men can be seen standing atop the building as well. Three small areas of the photo have been abraded causing some loss to the surface of image, which otherwise remains good to very good. On July 21, 1861 Blenker led a German brigade successfully at First Bull Run, convincing the War Dept. to organize Blenker's Division the following October.

Estimate: $200 - 300.
